ShortSegment I did testing out a new camera I now have. This one is on the Taino word "Iri" for Name. Which runs consistent with our relatives the Kalinago, Garifuna and the Lokono. The three examples used are Ama Biri, Kate Biri and Ka Biri for "Whats your name". Observe and watch with an open mind. Also be on look out for my upcoming power point presentation "Return of the Taino Gods".

By the late 15th century, Taíno/Ciboney had displaced earlier languages except for western Cuba and pockets in Hispaniola. As the Taíno declined during Spanish colonization, the language was replaced with Spanish and other European languages. As the first native language encountered by Europeans in the New World, it was a major source of new words borrowed into European languages.

Dialects

Granberry & Vescelius (2004) distinguish two dialects, one on Hispaniola and further east, and the other on Hispaniola and further west.

The ancestors of the Taíno entered the Caribbean from South America. At the time of contact, the Taíno were divided into three broad groups, known as the Western Taíno (Jamaica, most of Cuba, and the Bahamas), the Classic Taíno (Hispaniola and Puerto Rico) and the Eastern Taíno (northern Lesser Antilles), and other groups of Taíno tribes of Florida, such as the Tequesta, Calusa, Jaega, Ais, and other groups. Taíno groups were in conflict with the Caribs of the southern Lesser Antilles.

At the time of Columbus' arrival in 1492, there were five Taíno chiefdoms and territories on Hispaniola, each led by a principal Cacique (chieftain), to whom tribute was paid. Ayiti ("land of high mountains") was the indigenous Taíno name for the mountainous side of the island of Hispaniola, which has retained its name as Haïti in French.

Language

Language is the ability to acquire and use complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so, and a language is any specific example of such a system. The scientific study of language is called linguistics.

Estimates of the number of languages in the world vary between 5,000 and 7,000. However, any precise estimate depends on a partly arbitrary distinction between languages and dialects. Natural languages are spoken or signed, but any language can be encoded into secondary media using auditory, visual, or tactile stimuli– for example, in graphic writing, braille, or whistling. This is because human language is modality-independent. Depending on philosophical perspectives regarding the definition of language and meaning, when used as a general concept, "language" may refer to the cognitive ability to learn and use systems of complex communication, or to describe the set of rules that makes up these systems, or the set of utterances that can be produced from those rules. All languages rely on the process of semiosis to relate signs to particular meanings. Oral and sign languages contain a phonological system that governs how symbols are used to form sequences known as words or morphemes, and a syntactic system that governs how words and morphemes are combined to form phrases and utterances.

Stepbrothers Pérez and Cabra first got a record deal with White Lion Records after sending the label a demo tape, and after the controversial song "Querido F.B.I." was released, the group gained notoriety in Puerto Rico. In 2005, Calle 13 released its eponymously titled debut album, which became very popular due to the singles "Se Vale Tó-Tó" and "¡Atrévete-te-te!". In 2007, the group released its second album, Residente o Visitante, which was also very successful and experimented with a wide variety of genres. The album helped the group gain success throughout Latin America and win three Latin Grammys. The group released its third album, Los de Atrás Vienen Conmigo, in 2008, which won Album of the Year at the 2009 Latin Grammy Awards. Calle 13 released Entren Los Que Quieran in November 2010 and its latest album, Multi Viral, on March 1, 2014.

CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank

CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank (FCIB) (TTSE:FCI), (BSE: FCI) is a publicly held Caribbean financial services company based in Barbados. Formed in 2002 as a merge the Caribbean operations of Barclays Bank PLC and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), in March 2006 both CIBC and Barclays announced that Barclays wished to exercise their option to exit the Caribbean venture completely resulting in CIBC gaining majority-control of the bank. in June 2011 it was announced the bank would be renamed CIBC FirstCaribbean Bank "to be more closely aligned to the CIBC brand, while still maintaining the FirstCaribbean name and local identity."

History

Prior to 2002, the operations of what is now FirstCaribbean were run as the separate businesses of Barclays Bank and CIBC West Indies, part of CIBC's group of companies. Barclays had been active in the region since 1837 and CIBC's foray into the region began with branches in Jamaica in 1920.

In March 2006, CIBC officials announced their intention of buying majority control of their publicly held Caribbean joint venture the FirstCaribbean International Bank. The deal costing just over US$1billion (Bds$2 billion) would purchase the current 43.7% owned by Barclays Bank PLC and would raise CIBC's current ownership to 87.4%, from 43.7%. Upon closure of the deal, the top four Caribbean commercial banks would be consolidated merely to a top three, with those being Scotiabank, the FirstCaribbean International Bank, and the Royal Bank of Canada with a possible distant fourth-place bank varying in each territory. Following the deal, the regional head-office for FCI is expected to remain located in Barbados, with that regional centre continuing to report to the Toronto CIBC head-office. , , (Final agreement for sale).

We are Tainos; we are not "Latinos".

We are Tainos; we are not "Latinos".

We are Tainos; we are not "Latinos".

The Tainos are the indigenous people of the Caribbean, including part of Florida. We are different from Hispanics and Latinos. Hispanics are people from Spain. Latinos are people from Southern Europe. Before 1492, there were no Afrikans or Spaniards on our land, or people of any other race. There were only Tainos. Some people may think of us as "Native Americans" or "American Indians". While the etymology of these terms can be debated, this is correct.
"Latino" comes from "Latin". Latin is the root language of all the Southern European languages, known as the "romance languages". From "Latin America" comes the colonial identity "Latino". The term "Latin America" was coined by the French economist, Michel Chevalier. It was a political move to ally the conquered now Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking part of "the Americas" with "Latin Europe" in their struggle with "Teutonic Europe," "Anglo-Saxon America" and "Slavic Europe". Our people have been used as pawns to fight Europe's wars, against each other.
As for Hispanic, "Hispania" was the name the Romans gave to the Iberian Peninsula during their conquest. From "Hispania", you get "Espana" and "Spain". From "Hispania" you get "Hispanic". In my head, I pronounce it, "HiSPAINic" for clarity, because the term only describes things from Spain, just like "Latin" is for all things Southern European.
There is a reason Tainos got tricked into calling themselves "Hispanic" and "Latino". After colonization began, we forgot who we were. Queen Isabella of Spain was one of many monarchs who instituted laws forbidding us from practicing our indigenous religion, forbidding us from speaking our indigenous language, and making slaves out of us. They did this on purpose. Why? For power. For our land. If they stole who we were, it would be easier to govern us, because we would start thinking that they were us.
Why are we taught to call ourselves "Hispanic" and "Latino" instead of Taino? Why don't we think of ourselves as Native American, American Indian or Indigenous? It's all political. We are taught to claim our identity through our conquerors from 1492 because it hides us from the truth of our history. When people are robbed of their history, they are robbed of their humanity. We should be proud of being Taino. When we call ourselves "Hispanic" and "Latino", it prevents us from being proud of our heritage. It also keeps us from the rights we deserve, like the right to govern our own land.
Knowing who you are gives you happiness and a purpose. If this is your first time being exposed to Taino knowledge, please share with your friends and family who are Taino but don't know it yet. Use this knowledge to inspire others to reclaim their Indigenous pride and fight for our people's rights.
For someone who has gone their whole life not knowing who they really are, this knowledge can be shocking. Some might not know what to do. We, the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere, experienced genocide, leading to the death of 95% of our population. Our people have psychological damage from not knowing who we are and being denied our ancestral pride. Let us heal this psychological damage by being supportive of each other. After more than 500 years, it is time for the Tainos to wake up. Let's do this, together.
You know what "Hispanic" and "Latino" really mean now. Welcome to being Taino. Welcome to finding out who you really are and who you were always meant to be. Be Taino. Every time you call yourself Taino instead of "Hispanic" or "Latino", you are making a difference and you are honoring your people.

Origin of the word Taino: A Quick Slide Presentation

Question? Where was the word Taino first recorded? If it was Hispaniola (Haiti/D.R.), I think something is being overlooked here. The word Taino designated as a tribe it comes and originates from Peter Martyr who never by the way step foot on any of the islands in the Caribbean, so how could Peter Martyr d'Anghiera have any familiarity with the Taino language if he was never there to learn it? Dr. Chanca says it meant good, Anghiera says it meant noble. Both were not familiar with the language, were they not?

ShortSegment I did testing out a new camera I now have. This one is on the Taino word "Iri" for Name. Which runs consistent with our relatives the Kalinago, Garifuna and the Lokono. The three examples used are Ama Biri, Kate Biri and Ka Biri for "Whats your name". Observe and watch with an open mind. Also be on look out for my upcoming power point presentation "Return of the Taino Gods".

ShortSegment I did testing out a new camera I now have. This one is on the Taino word "Iri" for Name. Which runs consistent with our relatives the Kalinago, Garifuna and the Lokono. The three examples used are Ama Biri, Kate Biri and Ka Biri for "Whats your name". Observe and watch with an open mind. Also be on look out for my upcoming power point presentation "Return of the Taino Gods".

The Tainos are the indigenous people of the Caribbean, including part of Florida. We are different from Hispanics and Latinos. Hispanics are people from Spain. Latinos are people from Southern Europe. Before 1492, there were no Afrikans or Spaniards on our land, or people of any other race. There were only Tainos. Some people may think of us as "Native Americans" or "American Indians". While the etymology of these terms can be debated, this is correct.
"Latino" comes from "Latin". Latin is the root language of all the Southern European languages, known as the "romance languages". From "Latin America" comes the colonial identity "Latino". The term "Latin America" was coined by the French economist, Michel Chevalier. It was a political move to ally the conquered now Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking part of "the Americas" with "Latin Europe" in their struggle with "Teutonic Europe," "Anglo-Saxon America" and "Slavic Europe". Our people have been used as pawns to fight Europe's wars, against each other.
As for Hispanic, "Hispania" was the name the Romans gave to the Iberian Peninsula during their conquest. From "Hispania", you get "Espana" and "Spain". From "Hispania" you get "Hispanic". In my head, I pronounce it, "HiSPAINic" for clarity, because the term only describes things from Spain, just like "Latin" is for all things Southern European.
There is a reason Tainos got tricked into calling themselves "Hispanic" and "Latino". After colonization began, we forgot who we were. Queen Isabella of Spain was one of many monarchs who instituted laws forbidding us from practicing our indigenous religion, forbidding us from speaking our indigenous language, and making slaves out of us. They did this on purpose. Why? For power. For our land. If they stole who we were, it would be easier to govern us, because we would start thinking that they were us.
Why are we taught to call ourselves "Hispanic" and "Latino" instead of Taino? Why don't we think of ourselves as Native American, American Indian or Indigenous? It's all political. We are taught to claim our identity through our conquerors from 1492 because it hides us from the truth of our history. When people are robbed of their history, they are robbed of their humanity. We should be proud of being Taino. When we call ourselves "Hispanic" and "Latino", it prevents us from being proud of our heritage. It also keeps us from the rights we deserve, like the right to govern our own land.
Knowing who you are gives you happiness and a purpose. If this is your first time being exposed to Taino knowledge, please share with your friends and family who are Taino but don't know it yet. Use this knowledge to inspire others to reclaim their Indigenous pride and fight for our people's rights.
For someone who has gone their whole life not knowing who they really are, this knowledge can be shocking. Some might not know what to do. We, the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere, experienced genocide, leading to the death of 95% of our population. Our people have psychological damage from not knowing who we are and being denied our ancestral pride. Let us heal this psychological damage by being supportive of each other. After more than 500 years, it is time for the Tainos to wake up. Let's do this, together.
You know what "Hispanic" and "Latino" really mean now. Welcome to being Taino. Welcome to finding out who you really are and who you were always meant to be. Be Taino. Every time you call yourself Taino instead of "Hispanic" or "Latino", you are making a difference and you are honoring your people.

Question? Where was the word Taino first recorded? If it was Hispaniola (Haiti/D.R.), I think something is being overlooked here. The word Taino designated as a tribe it comes and originates from Peter Martyr who never by the way step foot on any of the islands in the Caribbean, so how could Peter Martyr d'Anghiera have any familiarity with the Taino language if he was never there to learn it? Dr. Chanca says it meant good, Anghiera says it meant noble. Both were not familiar with the language, were they not?

The Last Taíno [Full Documentary]

A filmmaker’s clandestine expedition through the communist island of Cuba in search of an indigenous tribe rumored extinct for over three centuries.
According to most historical accounts the Taínos, native people of Caribbean islands like Puerto Rico, Hispañola, and Cuba, became extinct shortly after the arrival of the Spaniards in 1492. After hearing a rumor about the existence of a surviving tribe in Guantanamo, Cuba, filmmakers Dre Torres and Tony Cortes travel to the communist country to find out the truth. What results is a dangerous covert voyage through the highly restricted mountains of Yateras despite the orders of Cuban military officials.

Silencing of the Tongues: Arawak/Lokono (Final Edit)

The video pursues the last remaining speakers of the Lokono language, otherwise known as Arawak, in Guyana. I does so on the EssequiboCoast in the area of Mainstay/Tapakuma and Wakapoa on the Pomeroon River. Of the 20,000 ethnic Arawaks in Guyana, only a diminishing number of people over 60 years of age can speak the language. This is a dying language. The video seeks to alert us to this tragedy of the 'Silencing of the Tongues' through interviews with some of the last speakers of the language and hearing the language spoken. The interviews were conducted by Ian Robertson, Hubert Devonish & Daidrah Smith

Taino Language Comparison: Iri Name

We are Tainos; we are not "Latinos".

The Tainos are the indigenous people of the Caribbean, including part of Florida. We are different from Hispanics and Latinos. Hispanics are people from Spain. Latinos are people from Southern Europe. Before 1492, there were no Afrikans or Spaniards on our land, or people of any other race. There were only Tainos. Some people may think of us as "Native Americans" or "American Indians". While the etymology of these terms can be debated, this is correct.
"Latino" comes from "Latin". Latin is the root language of all the Southern European languages, known as the "romance languages". From "Latin America" comes the colonial identity "Latino". The term "Latin America" was coined by the French economist, Michel Chevalier. It was a political move to ally the conquered now Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking part of "the Americas" with "Latin Europe" in their struggle with "Teutonic Europe," "Anglo-Saxon America" and "Slavic Europe". Our people have been used as pawns to fight Europe's wars, against each other.
As for Hispanic, "Hispania" was the name the Romans gave to the Iberian Peninsula during their conquest. From "Hispania", you get "Espana" and "Spain". From "Hispania" you get "Hispanic". In my head, I pronounce it, "HiSPAINic" for clarity, because the term only describes things from Spain, just like "Latin" is for all things Southern European.
There is a reason Tainos got tricked into calling themselves "Hispanic" and "Latino". After colonization began, we forgot who we were. Queen Isabella of Spain was one of many monarchs who instituted laws forbidding us from practicing our indigenous religion, forbidding us from speaking our indigenous language, and making slaves out of us. They did this on purpose. Why? For power. For our land. If they stole who we were, it would be easier to govern us, because we would start thinking that they were us.
Why are we taught to call ourselves "Hispanic" and "Latino" instead of Taino? Why don't we think of ourselves as Native American, American Indian or Indigenous? It's all political. We are taught to claim our identity through our conquerors from 1492 because it hides us from the truth of our history. When people are robbed of their history, they are robbed of their humanity. We should be proud of being Taino. When we call ourselves "Hispanic" and "Latino", it prevents us from being proud of our heritage. It also keeps us from the rights we deserve, like the right to govern our own land.
Knowing who you are gives you happiness and a purpose. If this is your first time being exposed to Taino knowledge, please share with your friends and family who are Taino but don't know it yet. Use this knowledge to inspire others to reclaim their Indigenous pride and fight for our people's rights.
For someone who has gone their whole life not knowing who they really are, this knowledge can be shocking. Some might not know what to do. We, the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere, experienced genocide, leading to the death of 95% of our population. Our people have psychological damage from not knowing who we are and being denied our ancestral pride. Let us heal this psychological damage by being supportive of each other. After more than 500 years, it is time for the Tainos to wake up. Let's do this, together.
You know what "Hispanic" and "Latino" really mean now. Welcome to being Taino. Welcome to finding out who you really are and who you were always meant to be. Be Taino. Every time you call yourself Taino instead of "Hispanic" or "Latino", you are making a difference and you are honoring your people.

This documentary presents remarks both from PeterMorla and Rene Perez presenting a break down on the TainoHierarchy which is the social and political structure of our Ancestors. An Eye opening presentation featuring a discussion on the cosmology, remarks on the language and the Taino Myth of Extinction.
